This identification stems from a custom that dates back to 17th century France, when figures in the deck of cards began to be associated with historical or mythological names to make them more interesting and memorable. Julius Caesar is known for his crucial role in the expansion of the Roman Empire and his strategic leadership in numerous battles.

His dress is typically regal, with ornaments denoting his status and power. The design may include symbolic elements such as crowns, sceptres and other icons of power and authority, as well as details evoking the grandeur and influence of Rome.
